BEFORE RETURNiNG FOR REPAiRS 17.
When a charging problem arises, make certain that the battery 17.1
is capable of accepting a normal charge. Double check all
connections, the AC outlet for a full 120-volts, the charger clips
for correct polarity and the quality of the connections from the
cables to the clips and from the clips to the battery system. The
clips must be clean.
When a battery is very cold, partially charged or sulfated, it

will not draw the full rated amperes from the charger. It is both
dangerous and damaging to a battery to force higher amperage
into it than it can effectively use in recharging.
When an UNKNOWN OPERATING PROBLEM arises, please

read the complete manual and call the customer service number
for information that will usually eliminate the need for return.
If the above solutions do not eliminate the problem or for information
